Endless Night

Was waiting for The Sandman to be released, turns out this is about dreams and nightmares too. I wasn't too fond of teen drama but surprisingly it is not as grating as most teen shows are. The fantasy/horror element is much more present here. It's much better than Neil Blomkamp's recent effort Demonic.

I devoured this 180 minute show in a single sitting. This is the yin to the Sandman's yang and I hope it gets a second season.

Endless Night: A group of teens are treated at a clinic which deals with sleeping disorders. Unknown to the doctors the out-patients are taking an experimental drug outside of the clinic resulting in them dreaming while awake. An odd state where they seem to be able to affect reality. There is also a patient who has been asleep for ten years, his dreams now seem to contaminate those of others. The group then realise that another dimension exists, a dreamland which they visit but can also be physically trapped in. An interesting French SF/Horror adventure with conspiracies, untold stories and dark creatures. Well imagined dream within dream sequences, trying to figure out where reality lies. Maybe life in dreamland is more attractive. Directed by David Perrault who co-wrote the screenplay with Emmanuel Voisin. Six episodes on Netflix. 7/10.
